2015年新闻学、传播学和新闻传播史三个板块的研究都因应社会情势呈现出较为突 出的外部驱动和现实导向特征,这体现在媒体融合话题的持续强势、互联网规制议题凸 显、政治传播话题紧跟快转、抗战时期新闻传播史研究伴随政治周期突显等方面。与此 同时,新闻业务研究、“新报刊史”研究以及中外传播思想史研究等领域均有所深入; 关于新闻学、传播学学科发展的讨论仍维持一定热度

This article is a brief review of China’s journalism and communication studies in 2015. Due to political circumstances, the studies in the areas of journalism research, communication research, and the history of journalism and communication are demand-driven and application- oriented to some extent. These are reflected in the facts that media convergence remains the dominant topic, that more and more scholars have paid attention to the issue of Internet regulation, that political communication research has become a new “hot” area, and that historical studies on the journalistic and communicative activities during the anti-Japanese War have got a predominant position periodically. Meanwhile, there are also many topics of related areas that merit attention, especially in the fields of news business and “new” history of newspaper. In addition, the reflective discussions on the development of the fields of journalism and communication have been heated and deep.
